Probation, Pretrial, and House Arrest fees are $60 per month, unless you have required testing, at which time that fee will be add and due at the time of each test. All new cases will have an additional one time $10 start-up fee, and initial alcohol test of $30 to ensure that you were not under the influence, and of sound mind and body at the time we go over your case. If you were not ordered mandatory, and or random testing this should be your only test, unless issues arise. That makes your first total payment $100 due at your first appointment. If you live out of the area, preapproved for remote reporting there will be a $20 remote fee added to your $60 fee for a total of $80 per month. (Remote Reporting must be approved in advance.) We except Money orders and cashier’s checks only, no personal check. We cannot cash or except payroll or income tax checks.We do accept Cash-App only with (prior approval) first at $panhandleprobation. You must add your full name and case number to identify the sender. If you do not add this info and we cannot determine who sent it you forfeit your payment, and by using Cash-App you agree to these terms. If you make a Cash-App payment there is a $10 service fee must be added. Random Drug and Alcohol tests are $30 each. If you were ordered to take mandatory Drug, and or Alcohol testing twice a week or more, you qualify for a flat monthly rate for testing rather than the individual fee of $30 for each test which can add up. Testing fees are on top of the normal $60 supervision fee. Before you can start any community service hours you have to pay the onetime community insurance fee of $15 for every (50-hour block) of Community Service hours required. The insurance fee must be paid before any hours can be started, or they will not count. The Vehicle Immobilization “impound fee” for DUI cases is a onetime fee of $100 for 10 days, $200 for 30 days, and $300 for 90 days and above. Restitution cases requires a $3.50 surcharge with each payment for processing payments and checks to the Victims. If you have any questions about these or any other fees or charges, please contact your Probation Officer.
You are expected to take the time to make the necessary preparations well in advance to make your scheduled appointments on time and have your payment with you. Walk-ins are always welcome if you would like to come in early in advance of your normally scheduled appointment.
